‘Unbroken’ Fragments, Memory & Meaning – An Evening with Bouke de Vries

We are delighted to invite you to join us for an evening with internationally acclaimed artist Bouke de Vries, exploring the fascinating ideas behind his current exhibition Unbroken  which is taking place at the  Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics  in Leeuwarden until August 2026.

Using his skills as a restorer, Bouke transforms broken ceramics – often historic or antique pieces – into new and unexpected artworks in innovative and multifaceted ways. The exhibition  Unbroken features artworks from Bouke's career, in which he experiments with the theme of decay and repair, focusing on 'the beauty of destruction'.
